The Weekend . . .

The last few leisurely moments of summer are upon us, and for many of you a long weekend is in the works. Regardless of the length of your weekend, it is certainly a time to scamper to the farmers’ market and pick up a few fresh berries to make your favorite dessert (the one above has certainly tickled my taste buds) or soak up the sun’s warm rays before they lessen.(And for my Aussie readers, what wonderful summer delights to begin indulging in!) 

This week on the blog was a treat, as many of you wrote and conversed with me regarding a few of the posts on the blog. I want to thank you for stopping by and for those who commented and emailed. Your kindness touched me more than you know. I mentioned this thought in this week’s newsletter, but it doesn’t hurt to mention it again.  I truly believe and continued to be reassured that when we find the courage to take on a challenging path, the world pleasantly surprises us with the tools to make it happen and the support to carry us through.  These words from you, my readers, are a testament to a universal truth I believe in even more after this week. So if you too find yourself on a journey, making a tough decision, but knowing its the right one, find peace in knowing that you can make it happen, trust yourself and refuse to believe any tiny doubts that may pop up.

And don’t forget to enter the luxurious giveaway! Eberjey is giving away a Gisele robe to a lucky winner. (The same robe Meryl Streep wore in her recent film Hope Springs!) Enter by Wednesday, September 5th.
